Rock ‘n’ Roll Fundraiser

Sat 27 Oct 2012, 8 pm Hanoi Rock City

Hanoi Rock City welcome touring Danish soul & rock ‘n’ roll 6-piece ‘A-BAND’ to headline a Hanoi night of live music for charity, with performances also by Zippy, Good Graeff and AC/EC.

A-BAND, who span two generations and have been playing rock classics for over 10 years, say that they play together first and foremost for fun. Attracted to the live stage and life on the road (having been well received in Spain, Gambia, Caribbean, Greek archipelago, USA, Cuba to name a few), A-BAND have done benefit concerts in 12 countries. On Saturday October 27th, all ticket proceeds from the gig in Hanoi will be donated to support children in northern village: Sùng Đô, Văn Chấn, Yên Bái, Việt Nam.

Here’s the exciting part – you’ll get to hear live renditions of old classics such as Tutti Frutti, C.C. Rider, Jail House Rock, and soul songs like Midnight Hour, Sweet Nothings, Leave Your Hat On and more, with a touch of original arrangement and sound. The rock ‘n’ roll voice of the lead-singer is backed by the harmonies of the rest of the band. Prizes for best dressed rock ‘n’ roll outfit and best rock ‘n’ roll dancer will be also be given out on the night.

Squeeze into those skinny jeans and pull out your best boogie for this one. Let the good times rock ‘n’ roll on. It’s about time we had a good old dance together again.
